Visual Arts by Culture in My Homebrew Setting

Some details of my homebrew setting are things I've thought about plenty and never put down until I wrote the guide; others are things I've thought fleetingly of and expanded; some don't exist until I sit down to make them. This guide to the visual arts of Evanoch is of the last sort. I enjoy visual arts, but I'm not very informed in them like I am with literature, so I have to confess that I sorta imagined Evanine art galleries as having paintings and sculptures and stuff, but I never really considered what any of it would look like. I think it's times like these that we all benefit from remembering that there are endless things to write about in terms of worldbuilding, and not getting around to something obvious well into your GMing career isn't a bad thing--it all comes in time. So in that spirit, 60 articles about my homebrew setting down, this one before us now, and as many more to go as we like. (And remember: you don't need to write 60 articles about your world to know it well or be able to DM well.) Let's take a look at the visual arts of Evanoch, guided by culture.
